Gourdeau Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Per rapsheet #Raiders WR Antonio Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it earlier this week, and it got ugly. Mayock clearly frustrated with AB posting his fine letter on Instagram. And now, a suspension for conduct detrimental could mean losing $30M in guaranteed money.

Gourdeau Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Antonio Brown was unhappy about being fined and had an exchange with #Raiders general manager Mike Mayock on Wednesday. He was held back by a couple of teammates, sources said, and is now facing a team suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can't say they didn't know what they were getting. There is ALWAYS a damn good reason a team get's rid of perhaps the Best WR in football. See OBJ, TO etc. Teams will never learn. Money can't buy you sanity. It can buy a lot of things but sanity and love are 2 things money can't buy. The Raiders are the perfect team to be going through this. Par for the course.

Gourdeau Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Per Schefter Raiders are scheduled to practice at 10:30 am PDT, in 20 minutes. Antonio Brown, needless to say, is not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start leaving a paper trail. Enforce fines for everything and hope that he quits or acts so bizarre that you can just cut him. You can't rule out that some of his behavior is medical not just personality. I don't know. Agreed. As a Raider fan, I just want him gone. I don't care how good he is. How does that helmet endorsement work when you don't play? Are we going to have commercials of him running into cars and livestock? What a loser! I honestly think this is the start of the process of getting rid of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I thought Terrell Owens was crazy when he was working out in his driveway and drawing media attention. AB is several layers of cuckoo beyond that. Hmm one report I'm reading says he threatened to hit Mayock, that was smart NOT. Maybe this will serve as a wake-up call for some of the entitled star athletes that think they can do no wrong and their talent allows them to act like chalupas. I drafted rookie RB Josh Jacobs with my first pick (like a 6th round since we all keep 5 players) in a 12 team league and expect him to be a big part of my team this year and going forward. Also took Carr as my backup QB late in the draft. Hope this doesn't harm their value too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFlash Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I hope that by the time week 1 arrives, Mayock gets his enforcement (maybe not start and half game 1 or just 1 game). A removal of guarantees is a end all. This is Mayock drawing the line in the sand and AB testing just like he did at PIT. Hopefully Mayock stand his ground. If AB gets released, then so be it. Raiders knew what they were getting when they made the deal. AB would be a complete dumb**s to give up guarantees if it was threatened. Glad I got T.Williams. Renfro and Waller are on my watch list.

Maybe he does need a better helmet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
